Chapter 2, Problem 11TYU
SCIENTIFIC INQUIRY Female luna moths (Actias luna) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. A male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. The sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comblike antennae visible in the photograph shown here. Each filament of an antenna isequipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. Based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. What predictions does your hypothesis make? Design an experiment to test one of these predictions.

Also explain the underlying mechanism of this interferencearrow_forwardInstruction: Propose a hypothesis for the given scenario below. Please answer here directly. Also, support your answer with scientific bases. Female silkworm moths (Bombyx mori) attract males by emitting chemical signals that spread through the air. A male hundreds of meters away can detect these molecules and fly toward their source. The sensory organs responsible for this behavior are the comb like antennae visible in the photograph shown here. Each filament of an antenna is equipped with thousands of receptor cells that detect the sex attractant. Based on what you learned in this chapter, propose a hypothesis to account for the ability of the male moth to detect a specific molecule in the presence of many other molecules in the air. What predictions does your hypothesis make?arrow_forwardThe Amoeba cell exhibits specialized abilities that enable it to react to a stimulus by producing a response or a behavior. It can do this because it has adapted properties exhibited by simpler more primitive cells. These cellular properties include a) Separation of the fluid environments inside and outside the cell. b) Active transport of Na+ out of and K+ into the cell, c) diffusion of Na+ in to and K+ out of a cell in reaction to a stimulus, d) the stimulus interacting with a receptor site in a membrane embedded protein, e) All of these are true.arrow_forward
- SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Trace amounts ofdioxin were present in Agent Orange, a defoliant sprayed onvegetation during the Vietnam War. Animal tests suggest thatdioxin can cause birth defects, cancer, liver and thymus damage,and immune system suppression, sometimes leading to death.But the animal tests are equivocal; a hamster is not affectedby a dose that can kill a guinea pig. Dioxin acts like a steroidhormone, entering a cell and binding to a cytoplasmic receptorthat then binds the cell’s DNA.(a) Discuss how this mechanism might help explain the variety of dioxin’s effects on different body systems and indifferent animals.(b) Discuss how you might determine whether a type of illnessis related to dioxin exposure. Next, discuss how you mightdetermine whether a particular individual became ill as aresult of exposure to dioxin. Which would be more difficultto demonstrate?

Choose 5 or more cellular structures and write an analogy about how those structures function together in an everyday system. The analogous system should be something you already know (e.g., football organization, factory, etc.). Be sure to use only one every day system that incorporates all 5+ cellular structures (and not a different, unrelated system for each structure).
